      Lecturers have a heavy workload

      Pros

      Students are great, Erie has a small town feel, if you like that.

      Cons

      LOTS of snow, very heavy workload for lecturers while still expecting tenure track levels of research. Turnover is very high among lecturers, pay is low, contract decisions are made late in the year and are very political.

      ITS @ Penn State

      Service desk supervisor

      Pros

      The ITS department at Penn State is a great place to work. Management is very willing to work with your strengths and build on your weaknesses. I have learned many new skills working as a Service Desk Consultant and Supervisor that I will value for the rest of my career. The working environment is very casual, but professional as well.

      Cons

      I would like to see more advancement opportunity within the organization for student employees. I think that we can be utilized a bit more to help ITS as a whole and also to build our own resume a bit.
